Extreme heat can kill you fast with a heat stroke or heart attack. But it can also kill you slowly with lost wages, kidney problems and UTIs, and psychological stress. In India, millions of women in the informal economy bear the worst of it.

Indigenous lands must be recognised as part of climate policy, says Brazilian minister
Sonia Guajajara tells Cop30 the rights of traditional communities must be maintained in the face of exploitation by the mining industry Countries must recognise the demarcation of Indigenous lands as a key component of tackling the climate crisis, and civil society must help in the defence of such lands against mining interests, Brazilâs minister for Indigenous peoples has said. Sonia Guajajara, a longtime Indigenous activist before being appointed a minister by President Lula da Silva, said: â[Among the goals of the Cop30 summit is] a request that countries recognise the demarcation of Indigenous lands as climate policy.â Continue reading...

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats. Donât waste it on centrists who wonât come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives. You wonât end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Drivers: I know you think youâre doing cyclists a favour by stopping & waving us through an intersection while youâve got right of way, but you really arenât. Youâre being unpredictable and screwing up the flow of traffic for everyone and just causing further delays for us to safely cross. Stop it.

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels. 10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C 20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

Less harsh cold? Later freezes? Not as many freezes? Shorter cold streaks?! It might sound nice, but cold weather matters â for snowfall, water supplies, winter sports, and the ecosystems that depend on them. Those impacts can ripple into spring and summer.

It might be true that the world needs to remove ten billion tonnes of COâ from the atmosphere every year but itâs never going to happen for many different reasons: technical, financial, social, environmental, governance, etc. If we donât reduce COâ emissions, weâre screwed. Thatâs it.

This a big deal: "Chinaâs carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
